CHARLOTTE, NC (January 3) " Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials announced today that the PASS South Super Late Models will return to Caraway Speedway near Asheboro, NC for the second race of the 2018 season. The South's original and longest running Super Late Model tour will compete in the RGS Products 125 at Caraway Speedway on Sunday, March 11, with an optional practice day scheduled for Saturday, March 10. The RGS Products 125 will be part of the season opener at Caraway Speedway for the Southern Modified Racing Series (SMRS) Tour Modifieds, which will also be competing for 99 laps. This event will be the first of three that will see two of the region's premier touring series compete alongside one another, joining the 13th Annual Easter Bunny weekend at Hickory Motor Speedway on Saturday, March 31 and the Memorial Day weekend event at Concord Speedway on Friday, May 25.

'Renee and Darren Hackett have been great partners of ours over the years and we are glad to continue that partnership with Caraway Speedway and the SMRS tour in 2018,' said PASS President Tom Mayberry. 'RGS Products have come on board and we are very excited to add this great event to our schedule, with one more planned to be announced in the coming weeks.'

RGS Products, based in Union City, PA, is a full service, architectural metals and glass fabrication and contracting company with over 30 years combined experience in the industry. RGS Products provides state of the art, cad, engineering, fabrication, and installation services, necessary to provide the customer with a single source to assist in managing products, saving time and money.

The 2018 season will start on, February 23-24, at Dillon Motor Speedway with the 13th Annual South Carolina Clash. After a very competitive race last year, the 200 lap event will once again be the first contest of the 2018 PASS National Championship Series, asphalt Super Late Model racing's only true national championship.

Look for the release of the 2018 schedule for the PASS North Super Late Models and the remainder of the PASS National Championship Series dates to be released in the coming days.

And, don't forget, the biggest short track race on asphalt, the 45th Annual Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine will take place August 24-26, 2018, paying $25,000 to the winner plus additional lap leader bonus money. Curtis Gerry, the 2017 Oxford 250 winner, took home over $30,000 for his triumph in this year's event.
